Say Hello On

It was great to be asked to be part of a talented crew of 10 Canadian illustrators and designers for the Greetings from Canada project. This is part of a limited edition run of fine letterpress cards put together by Vincent Perez and Tom Froese from Everlovin’ Press and includes Riley Cran, Benjamin Nelson, Genevieve Simms, Doublenaut, Kate O’Connor, Studio Tipi, Tom Froese, Rory O’Sullivan, and Yo Rodeo. Go to Greetings from Canada to buy individual cards for $4.00 or better yet, the full set for $40.00! Hope you like my saucy addition to the pack.

Here’s some of my inking process before I brought the ink drawings into the computer to colourize it and get it ready fro letterpress.

So great to be a part of such a talented group of Canadians and to see my work in letterpress for the first time. Thanks Everlovin’ Press! Be sure to pick up a pack before they sell out at Greetings from Canada.

It’s Nook’s 2nd annual Holiday Sale, and I’m happy to announce I’ll be there with my prints and the work of Toronto’s best illustrators. It’s a great chance to buy art gifts for the holidays or just to drop by and say hello to all of us. Nook is located at 156 Augusta Avenue, Toronto ON, M5T 2L4 in Toronto’s Kensington Market. It’s a great collective which brings together all types of commercial artists with inspiring classes and events and with the goal of fostering collaboration and community. Be sure to check out their upcoming events and talks. We’re so lucky to have this in our community. A big shout out to Julia Breckenreid for all the work she does here.

Mark your calendars please, this a great opportunity to find a perfect, original gift – whether it’s original art, prints, objects or ephemera. Here’s the great line-up!

I was struck by the grace and the strength of these two animals when considering animals for an endangered species series. It’s incredible to think that these two striking creatures might disappear altogether.

Sadly the magnificent Western Lowland Gorilla is now critically endangered due to exceptionally high levels of hunting and disease-induced mortality from the Ebola Virus, which combined are estimated to have caused its abundance to decline by more than 60% alone over the last 20 to 25 years. For more information go to the IUCN Red list.

The long-lived Siberian crane qualifies as critically endangered owing to fears that its global population will decline extremely rapidly over the next three generations following the development of the Three Gorges Dam in China which threatens the wintering grounds used by the vast majority of individuals. For more information please go to the IUCN Red List.

Just wanted to let you all know about some new pieces in my Etsy shop. I know some people who bought the smaller Lion print wanted a full sized version, well it’s now up on my site & it’s a limited edition. Here’s a few pics of what’s new, including Octopus vs Crab from the Zoo exhibit. Prints range from $35 – $175 depending on the size.

Thought I’d start with the Eli & Oskar image from the film Let the Right One In. Happy Halloween folks!
